The bird that made it as the world's newest species

A new species of a bird called the Olive-Backed Forest Robin or Stiphrornis pyrrholaemus is discovered in the forests of Gabon, by US scientists.

'The discovery of the Red-Breasted bird happened by accident,' said US scientists on Friday. The bird has been named the Olive-Backed Forest Robin by researchers although very little is known about it as yet.

The bird was reportedly found by a research team from the Smithsonian Institution who were visiting the forest on a bio-diversity project, according to Brian Schmidt, a research ornithologist at the Smithsonian's Natural Museum of Natural History.
